Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1 (14.5 ounce/439 gram) can black beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup chopped red onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 tablespoons vegan barbecue sauce, divided
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 slices vegan cheese (optional), cut into quarters
8 vegan slider buns (Note 1), optionally toasted
Toppings of choice, such as vegan mayo, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and avocado

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the oats into the bowl of a food processor fitted with an s-bland. Blend them to a coarse powder.
Add the beans, onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt to the food processor bowl. Pulse the machine until the ingredients are finely chopped and fully mixed, but still have some texture.
Shape the mixture into 8 patties, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the patties for 10 minutes. Flip the patties and brush each one with ½ tablespoon of barbecue sauce. Return them to the oven to bake for another 10 minutes. If you're using vegan cheese, you can optionally place a quarter slice on each patty during the last 2 minutes of baking, so that it melts a bit.
Stuff the patties into buns and top them with toppings of choice. Serve.

Notes

I used Wegman's brand potato slider rolls. I've provided a link in the ingredients list to some vegan slider buns on Amazon, though I haven't tried them. If you can't get ahold of vegan slider rolls, try vegan dinner rolls, small kaiser rolls, or any other variety or appropriately sized vegan roll.
